Overview for this Month: Pisces (All)
May 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Pisces:
There is a strong focus on connecting, learning, and daily affairs this month, dear Pisces, but enjoying your home and personal life more fully can also figure strongly. It's a highly expressive month, even with Mercury retrograde until the 14th. A Lunar Eclipse can prompt cravings for bigger things or some distance from the mundane affairs of your life, and you'll seek some escapes from time to time.
Mercury is retrograde in your communications sector until the 14th, and delays or misunderstandings can be notable in the first half of May. While there can be ups and downs and delays to manage, you'll ultimately see which of your projects are genuinely viable and worth your effort. Try your best not to dwell on flaws and problems, and this can be a rewarding period when revisiting past projects or subjects of study can be satisfying. You'll do well for yourself by reviewing recent decisions and allowing yourself to process and digest matters.
Your worldview is changing, and this affects your choices, decisions, and path forward. Tension is likely, but it's motivating. Aim for moderation and try to set limits and priorities.
Venus transits your solar fourth house of home, family, and comfort until the 7th, and the Sun moves into this area of your solar chart on the 21st. These influences boost your personal life and improve your living conditions, arrangements, and relationships with loved ones. Pleasant opportunities can arise to bond with those closest to your heart, or you bring more love, beauty, order, and harmony to your domestic world. You might receive a gift–or give yourself one–that benefits the family or home. It's also a good time for personal reflection.
But you also have Mars in your sector of joy until the 20th and Venus there from the 7th forward. It's a period of extra dynamism, stimulation, and action, and later, harmony, warmth, and cooperation in your creative, entertainment, and romantic worlds. You're received well, and you approach the world more creatively and romantically. In addition, you find more joy in leisure activities and hobbies.
Mercury's direct turn on the 14th helps you clear up problems and find the answers you sought to issues raised earlier in the month. You can put some editing work behind you or get word that helps move things forward.
Energies shift considerably after the third week of May. It's a great time to rest, recuperate, and improve your attention to downtime and your domestic world. At the same time, you're devoting more energy to your chores and wellness routines.
Jupiter moves into a new sector of your solar chart on the 16th, and it's the start of a wonderful transit that benefits your communications for a little over a year--until May 2024. You'll be expanding your contacts, communications, and interests. The year ahead can be a time for taking up further studies or hobbies and finding new and improved channels for communicating or commuting that open up new worlds to you. It can be an important year for laying the groundwork for future projects or building up your skills. You're excited to learn new things and share your ideas and interests with others.
It can be a time to share, promote, or publish in fun, fulfilling ways or grow your knowledge base. Your mind is open, and you share your ideas more enthusiastically. Transportation options now available make life a little more enjoyable.
This month, you might learn that freeing yourself from certain burdensome issues or secrets you've been keeping can be liberating. You might also be dealing with insecurities or fears holding you back from saying what you feel and going after what you truly want. These need handling on your mission to express yourself more freely and joyfully.
In the last week of May, beautiful opportunities can emerge through or with friends. News, communications, and information can open, bringing on a new perspective and connecting you to others in new and stirring ways. It's a strong period for learning, sharing, and relating. Your popularity can soar primarily surrounding your ideas, skills, and knowledge or the remarkable manner in which you communicate and connect. You're making connections with people and information that further your learning and networking goals.

Pisces (Born February 20 to March 1) and Pisces Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Pisces:
May 2023 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
May 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until May 20th:
The Sun continues to highlight your solar third house--a time of the year in which you are most likely to be a "busy bee". Communications, short trips, errand-running, and general busy-ness feature now. You could have a finger in many pies, so to speak, as your curiosity is piqued by a larger variety of things than usual. Used well, this could be a period in which you come up with solutions to a number of problems. You are more inclined to take pride in your intellectual accomplishments and/or your ability to socialize and make connections.
From May 21st forward:
With the Sun spotlighting your house of family and home, these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front.
Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship with your family and your home base. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing the inner foundations that support you and your growth. This is a time to collect yourself--to fill your well, so to speak.
Eclipses
A Lunar Eclipse occurs on May 5th:
A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.
This Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar ninth house. Surprises surrounding matters of personal philosophy, faith, travel, and the higher mind may be in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. This could manifest, for example, as a circumstance that tests your personal belief system or that requires the need to take a leap of faith, a surprising adventure that takes you beyond your normal routine, a sudden opportunity to travel or for higher learning, the publishing of a project you've been working on, and other such possibilities.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until May 7th:
Venus continues to transit your solar fourth house now. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be especially harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with better quality items or more attention to aesthetics. An inner sense of peace and security tends to dominate now, or the desire for peace motivates you now. Your affections are strong but you don't wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.
From May 7th forward:
Venus warms your solar fifth house. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It's natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn't be a problem--in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury is retrograde from April 21st to May 14th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with a partner or about partnerships, as well as communications with or about family and home, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. It will be important to avoid signing any contracts or making important partnership or family/home decisions during this cycle.
Occurring in your solar third house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to composing letters, emails, making phone calls, and with communications in general. There may be the need to revisit old, nagging issues with siblings or neighbors, errands could go wrong, you might have trouble getting from point A to point B (example, transportation problems), emails or letters get lost, and so forth. Idle chit- chatting during this period may have repercussions! People might be misunderstanding your words. You may be forgetful during this cycle, and it makes sense to allow yourself extra time to get to appointments, if they are not cancelled in the first place! It would also be wise to double-check your work and communications before sending them off.
After the 14th, information unclogs and delays lift.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 20th:
Mars continues to energize your solar fifth house. This brings increased energy and enthusiasm to romance, child-rearing, and creative or recreational endeavors. It can also bring some strife to these areas of your world in some cases. For the most part, however, a romance could pick up pace, you are self-motivated and inspired on creative and expressive levels, and your self-confidence is well-received by others during this cycle. You are more willing to take little risks and you are competitive in a mostly friendly way. In your enthusiasm to take the lead, try to be sensitive to and respectful of others' needs.
From the 20th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar sixth house. You have more energy for work and your daily routines tend to speed up during this transit. Perhaps you have a larger workload than usual. It's a great time to take charge of your health. You have much energy at your disposal to pick up (or step up) a health and physical activity program. It might be hard for you to work with others in a harmonious manner during this transit, and disputes with co-workers are possible. If you are feeling especially angry, frustrated, or restless, it would be wise to find little projects and things to do so that you can channel excess energy constructively. If health is affected, fevers or infections are more likely.

Pisces (Born March 2 to March 11) and Pisces Ascendant 10 to 20 degrees Pisces:
May 2023 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
May 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun is illuminating your communications sector now, suggesting "busy-ness" and movement. You are exploring and searching, making connections, and paying more attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is in emphasis during this period, and is, for the most part, light-hearted.
Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You are more curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. Much energy is expended in understanding and adapting to your immediate environment. Siblings, neighbors, close relatives, friends, and co-workers may play a more important role than usual in your life during this cycle.
You are more interested in exploring your own neighborhood than you are of something entirely new. This is not a time of big adventure-seeking! Rather, it's a time of little adventures close to home.
Neither is this a time when you are especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies right now. You are especially resourceful, and you could find yourself enjoying (or seeking) attention for your intellectual know-how. The ability to express and communicate your ideas is extremely important to you at this time. You are eager to investigate new things, whether scientific or technical.

Occurring in your solar second house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to new financial initiatives. There may be the need to revisit old, nagging issues regarding personal finances. Take this time to re-budget instead of making premature purchases. Hold off on major decision-making regarding money. Instead, take the time to re-think your sources of income and how you spend your cash during this period, but put off finalizing anything important for the time being. In fact, some money-making ideas or ventures may be put on hold due to circumstances beyond your control. This is an excellent period for review, however.
Information unclogs on the 14th.
From May 26th forward:
Mercury is right at home in the third house and offers a natural curiosity, facility with words, and the ability to multi-task successfully. More time spent on the phone, writing emails, in the car making short frequent trips, chatting, running errands, communicating with neighbors and siblings, visiting friends and relatives, and doing paperwork is likely now. There can also be a tendency to fuss over insignificant matters now, however.
Also, "information overload" is also a possibility. This may be a busy time with neighbors, classmates, siblings, and community affairs. Your interests are especially varied now and perhaps scattered. It's an ideal time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it, as your tendency is toward a certain level of intellectual detachment just now. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when circumstances call for you to stick to the routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project.
Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, and the like. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress.

Pisces (Born March 12 to 20)
AND Pisces Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Pisces:
May 2023 Pisces Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
May 2023
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until May 11th:
The Sun continues to transit your solar second house. This is the most "financial" period of the year for you. You might have a more materialistic view of life for the time being, or you have an increased interest in your own possessions, during this cycle. You are more attracted to objects and possessions that give you a sense of comfort, status, or luxury now.
You probably should be on the lookout for a tendency to create your own financial stress due to extravagant spending habits. At this point in the year, you are unlikely to take many risks, however, and you can be quite resistant to change. This is a time when "comfort zones" are more important to you than usual--you value the familiar.
From May 11th forward:
The Sun is illuminating your communications sector now, suggesting "busy-ness" and movement. You are exploring and searching, making connections, and paying more attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is in emphasis during this period, and is, for the most part, light-hearted.
Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You are more curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing.

This Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar eighth house. Surprises surrounding intimate matters, shared finances and resources, or financial support may be in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. This could manifest as, for example, the need to make a financial settlement or large payment, the paying off of a loan, the loss of financial support, a change in your spouse's status (or ex-spouse's status if child support or alimony is given), a circumstance that calls for you to support someone, and other such possibilities. Do your best to avoid letting emotions overrule good judgment when it comes to spending or financial matters.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until the 26th:
Venus continues to transit your solar fourth house now. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be especially harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with better quality items or more attention to aesthetics. An inner sense of peace and security tends to dominate now, or the desire for peace motivates you now.

Information unclogs from the 14th forward.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
From the 3rd forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar fifth house. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble. You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic. You have a likeably competitive, more energetic, and pleasingly assertive temperament during this transit. However, in some cases, you may be coming on too strong or aggressively, or meeting with aggressiveness in romantic relationships.
Overview Horoscope:
May 2023 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Pisces:
There is a strong focus on connecting, learning, and daily affairs this month, dear Pisces, but enjoying your home and personal life more fully can also figure strongly. It's a highly expressive month, even with Mercury retrograde until the 14th. A Lunar Eclipse can prompt cravings for bigger things or some distance from the mundane affairs of your life, and you'll seek some escapes from time to time.
Mercury is retrograde in your communications sector until the 14th, and delays or misunderstandings can be notable in the first half of May. While there can be ups and downs and delays to manage, you'll ultimately see which of your projects are genuinely viable and worth your effort. Try your best not to dwell on flaws and problems, and this can be a rewarding period when revisiting past projects or subjects of study can be satisfying. You'll do well for yourself by reviewing recent decisions and allowing yourself to process and digest matters.
Your worldview is changing, and this affects your choices, decisions, and path forward. Tension is likely, but it's motivating. Aim for moderation and try to set limits and priorities.
Venus transits your solar fourth house of home, family, and comfort until the 7th, and the Sun moves into this area of your solar chart on the 21st. These influences boost your personal life and improve your living conditions, arrangements, and relationships with loved ones. Pleasant opportunities can arise to bond with those closest to your heart, or you bring more love, beauty, order, and harmony to your domestic world. You might receive a gift–or give yourself one–that benefits the family or home. It's also a good time for personal reflection.
But you also have Mars in your sector of joy until the 20th and Venus there from the 7th forward. It's a period of extra dynamism, stimulation, and action, and later, harmony, warmth, and cooperation in your creative, entertainment, and romantic worlds. You're received well, and you approach the world more creatively and romantically. In addition, you find more joy in leisure activities and hobbies.
Mercury's direct turn on the 14th helps you clear up problems and find the answers you sought to issues raised earlier in the month. You can put some editing work behind you or get word that helps move things forward.
Energies shift considerably after the third week of May. It's a great time to rest, recuperate, and improve your attention to downtime and your domestic world. At the same time, you're devoting more energy to your chores and wellness routines.
Jupiter moves into a new sector of your solar chart on the 16th, and it's the start of a wonderful transit that benefits your communications for a little over a year--until May 2024. You'll be expanding your contacts, communications, and interests. The year ahead can be a time for taking up further studies or hobbies and finding new and improved channels for communicating or commuting that open up new worlds to you. It can be an important year for laying the groundwork for future projects or building up your skills. You're excited to learn new things and share your ideas and interests with others.
It can be a time to share, promote, or publish in fun, fulfilling ways or grow your knowledge base. Your mind is open, and you share your ideas more enthusiastically. Transportation options now available make life a little more enjoyable.
This month, you might learn that freeing yourself from certain burdensome issues or secrets you've been keeping can be liberating. You might also be dealing with insecurities or fears holding you back from saying what you feel and going after what you truly want. These need handling on your mission to express yourself more freely and joyfully.
In the last week of May, beautiful opportunities can emerge through or with friends. News, communications, and information can open, bringing on a new perspective and connecting you to others in new and stirring ways. It's a strong period for learning, sharing, and relating. Your popularity can soar primarily surrounding your ideas, skills, and knowledge or the remarkable manner in which you communicate and connect. You're making connections with people and information that further your learning and networking goals.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from a previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveal lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
